Does the next Batman movie have a title? The guys over at Filmstalker picked up a tidbit from an interview with Michael Caine on Turner Classic Movies in which the actor says the movie will be called “The Joker”. Not “Batman: The Joker”. Just “The Joker”. Or at least that seems like what he might be saying.
Here’s the full quote: “…we’re going to make The Joker next year.” Alright, that’s hardly a confirmation. Actually, that could mean just about anything. That could be the title of the movie, part of the title, or it could be just what Michael Caine is calling the movie in his head.
That said, wouldn’t that be a really unique way to approach a Batman Begins sequel? Make Joker the star, and Batman an ancillary figure stalking and haunting him? Christopher Nolan loves to experiment, he is after all the guy who brought us Memento. It’s unlikely that Caine’s comment really means anything, but it’s certainly a fun possibility.

I like it, for me I found Christian Bale more annoying the more he spoke so the more he's just in the shadows the better because I did like it (Batman Begins) but when he says something about "I want my enemies to feel my dread..." and throws that bat thing into the wall I did cringe, so less is more maybe.....formulaic film gets pretty old pretty quickly and I think we've had more than our fair share of heroes over the last few years so why not base a movie on a (comic book) villain, nice idea.
or maybe what he's talking about are the rumors that the next film will have as one of its stories the origin of the figure The Joker. taking him from nasty criminal to outright psycho. so they will be 'making the Joker (much in the same way that they made Batman in the first film).
